Overview

As a mid-career spiritual care professional, have you ever wondered, “What is my next step after having amassed 10,000 hours plus of clinical expertise? How can I use my chaplain clinical skills to leverage and launch my avocation in a new upward trajectory with a financial payoff along the way? Is this even possible?”

This Symposium will seek to provide some answers in how to break inside the corporate culture of influence and lead with integrity in head and heart.

We will take an honest look at and have candid dialogue around four topics:

  1. Integration of chaplaincy services within the greater organizational culture.
  2. Building bridges that align with Human Resources Wellness Initiatives that raise performance and visibility within the gaze of the C-Suite.
  3. The dynamic synergy of how teamwork makes the dream work in patient and staff care - to maximize caring for both persons and souls - with a Palliative Care Section chief physician and a Senior Director of Patient Advocacy.
  4. How a career chaplain with over 25 years of experience, who has always reported to the C-suite/CEO, with and without a dotted management line, made a strategic leap.

Steps and strategies will be outlined from the perspective of the presenters’ experiences - starting from overseeing chaplaincy services to three cost-centers; to leading another non-chaplain division; to being invited to spearhead a corporate strategic total wellness initiative culminating in becoming a vice-president reporting directly to the C-suite. Included will be vignettes of pivotal moments in a 20-plus-year chaplain career - sharing the push and pulls of linking strategies and managing managers while ascending the corporate ladder.

Regardless of the size of our shops or scope of our roles, what do we all have in common? A boss. A budget. A bottom line. The hope is to help you crack your corporate culture’s code of influence to sneak or break inside the circle and reap benefits like any other leader that brings value to those who walk through the doors.

Educational Objectives

  1. Climb the corporate ladder without losing one’s sense of self or avocation in moving from the margins to the middle – where risks, opportunities, and growth arise - with balanced, seasoned, and proven insights, techniques, and strategies.

  2. Leverage clinical chaplaincy skills to align with organizational goals through partnerships - reaping outcomes of increased staffing, resources, and corporate influence.

  3. Gain a toolbox and strategies for having “The Conversation” about advancement.
